Camptonville Union Elementary School District
Camptonville Academy serves students in Yuba and Sutter counties.
The Camptonville Academy (TCA) charter is a public personalized learning
charter school serving K-12 students who live primarily in isolated,
rural and suburban Northern California communities.
To support its Personalized Learning model of education, which includes
both classroom and beyond classroom learning environments, TCA also has
an Educational Resource Center in Marysville. This center supports a variety of learning
activities and tools, including classes, computer labs, tutoring, testing,
education resource libraries, and teacher/parent/student meetings.
Camptonville Academy (TCA) was formed in November 1998 as a California
Public Charter School and has been in operation for 4 full years, beginning
its fifth year in September of 2002. It became a nonprofit public benefit
corporation on August 1, 2002 to manage, operate, direct and promote
the school. The school’s main administrative office is located
in Grass Valley.
Parents choose to place their student in the TCA personalized learning
environment for the following primary reasons:
The student
is falling behind in the traditional site-based
classroom.
The student
is advanced and bored by the pace of the site-based
classroom.
Parent
wants more involvement with the student.
Student
is unable to perform in a classroom full of
distractions.
Student
has special needs that are not addressed in
the site-based setting
Camptonville Academy’s Mission statement is:
In order to foster the educational pursuits of a diversified student
population through our Independent Study program, Camptonville Academy:
Supports
student development through parental/teacher
choice of materials and curriculum aligned
with state standards.
Requires
parent/student involvement and commitment to
produce successful individualized instruction.
Offers
family resource centers with the goal that
students demonstrate measurably increased knowledge,
world/community understanding, and a firm preparation
for higher education.
In
addition Camptonville Academy’s Vision
is:
To
provide unique educational opportunities nurturing
far-reaching success for students.
To
offer parental choice among public schools
and to reach children not served by the traditional
education system through an individualized
approach to education within a supportive learning
community. In a report done by the National
Association of State Boards of Education (NASBE)
titled “Any Time, Any Place, Any Path,
Any Pace” (2001) compelling and comprehensive
evidence was given to validate the personalized
learning approach, which advocates e-learning
technology along with creating a variety of
learning choices and environments in public
education. Several components of our charter
support this purpose.
To
empower parents to be directly involved in
the education and social development of their
children.
The
collaborative learning partnership with professional
oversight by a California certificated teacher
facilitating individualized instruction to
the student and support for the family learning
environment.
Integrating
existing and emerging technologies into instruction
and the preparation of students to enter the
workforce or continue their education at college.
Utilizing
computers as a tool for delivering educational
choice provided in students’ homes.
Integrating standards-based curriculum aligned to state frameworks as
well as multiple assessment tests.
Curricula
choice aligned with state standards allowing
for the flexibility that addresses students’ multiple
intelligences.
Received
a Digital High School (DHS) grant in 2000.
Has been
granted candidacy for WASC accreditation.
Received
a distinguished invitation for Camptonville’s
